The average person just doesn't care, and anyone who tries to tell them otherwise is labelled a conspiracy nut and ignored. The only response they give to finding out that the government knows their exact gps location 24 hours a day and can listen to any and all of their communications is "So what?" Companies like Foursquare exist because people not only don't care about issues like this, but are actively trying to help them.

I agree. The fact that Youtube is too slow right now for me to even watch the video is just the icing on the cake...
